Description
Church Road One is a range of single vineyard wines that typify the character and personality of their best winegrowing sites.
A robust and characterful red with generous, juicy, dark berry fruit, lifted violet floral notes and exotic spice typical of this block. The palate is full bodied with good mid palate richness, and chunky, ripe tannins with a slight rustic edge.
Well matched to a range of meat and game. Particularly grilled meats which will pair beautifully with the ripe and robust tannin structure.
While approachable now, this wine will age positively for 15 plus years if cellared well.
13.5% abv. Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.
The same grape variety grown in different sites in the same region or sub region, can demonstrate uniquely different characteristics related to those individual sites. Even if the grapes are grown by the same people, with the same care and attention, changes in soil, slope, altitude and shelter can subtly or dramatically alter the resulting wine, even over distances of a few hundred metres or less. Church Road One is a range of single vineyard wines that typify the character and personality of our best winegrowing sites.
